Enrolment process

Please use the reception registration of interest form to register your interest in reception enrolment.

Eligibility for reception

If your child turns 5:  

• before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year. 
• after 1 May and before 31 October a child can start reception in term 3. 
• from 31 October, children start school term 1 the following year.

Please use our expression of interest to enrol for school to register your interest to enrol a child in year 1-6.

Mid-year intake from 2024

From 2024, there will be a mid-year intake into school.

From 2024, if your child turns 5 years between 1 May and 31 October, they can start school in either:

• term 3 of the same year
• or term 1 the following year.

Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.
